Millions of baby boomer business owners are set to retire, yet many do not have succession plans. If these businesses are sold to corporations or close down, communities will suffer. This is where transitioning to worker ownership emerges as the clear solution.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau,

Many 🇺🇸 living in border states with 🇨🇦 wish us to become your southernmost province.

This sentiment reflects our admiration for the values and stability that Canada represents, in contrast to the dictatorial tendencies of our current government.

Sincerely,
Dr. Len

Military-size drones have been flying night-time missions over strategic installations in NW Germany last 2 weeks.

Sightings are confirmed by German armed forces. Security sources suspect they came from North Sea or possibly Baltic Sea and are of Russian origin.

Targets: mil bases, ports, LNG.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
